  What I loved about dealing with Granny Flats is their honesty, integrity and knowledge. All great values hard to find nowadays.

  While my project with Granny Flat Approval Sydney didn’t proceed as planned due to an unforeseen council restriction, I remain impressed with their professionalism and dedication throughout the process. Eric and the team was consistently responsive, transparent, and professional. Even though the project was halted, I would wholeheartedly recommend Granny Flat Approval Sydney to anyone seeking a reliable and experienced building company that delivers positive customer service. I look forward to working with them again on future projects :)

  We are most pleased with our granny flat built to CDC requirements. We did not know what to expect. We were so impressed with the team, the professionalism, skill and pride in craftmanship demonstrated by the tradespeople, site and project management whom 'built it like it was their own'. They saw and tweeked things we wanted but literally did not at first visualize.

  This is my second time using this company. The first time was excellent, this time due to trade shortages it took a lot longer than hoped but in the end a fantastic result. Eric was very professional & helpful with choosing the colour scheme with me. The main contact for me was Mark who totally excelled at his job! I can't thank Mark enough for his constant updates and passion for the job! Highly recommended.

  We have had an excellent experience with Faraj. He is very responsive, extremely patient, and very easy to talk to. One of the most professional yet friendly people in the construction industry that that I have ever spoken to. We ended up not building the granny flat on our property, but did go through the approvals process, which due to the flooding issues at our property was cumbersome. Yet, Faraj was always there to answer any questions and patiently advise the best solution. I highly recommend him and this company, and will definitely return for any future projects.

  I highly recommend Granny Flat Approvals. We are currently looking to purchase a house and install a granny flat. Faraj has been an invaluable resource when review contracts, providing very beneficial advise around the feasibility of construction on complicated parcels of land.

  I highly recommend Granny Flat Approvals for their professionalism, creative thinking and people’s focus approach. I came to Faraj with a difficult lot of land, and multiple challenges to build a granny flat (odd shape and highly sloped terrain). He could have disregarded the project and stay busy with so many others easier projects, but instead he saw the potential and made me feel he really cared as it was his own. Going through a DA and requiring a number of exemptions from the council we knew it would not be as straightforward as your regular granny flat, but Faraj had the right strategy for me (including Pre-DA meetings), with his experience in knowing what we needed to do to get things over the line. This is when you realise you need to have someone with the right experience on your side to ensure you have the highest probability of council approval. The wrong approach gets your DA in the ‘drawer’ – I must admit I have learnt the complexities of the task as Faraj would patiently guide me through the process and iterate as many times as I needed till we got the right balance between having what I want and what would have the right likelihood of success. It felt a very collaborative approach where he would explain his line of thinking and was always clear about the risks (never over-promising). To make it more challenging, right in the middle of the DA submission I had to travel for family issues. Faraj did not hesitate to liaise with the council directly and handle objections that would have otherwise crippled the project. We got council approval in record time and we are about to commence build now. Thanks to Faraj, Zoe and the team once again.

  Faraj is a gem of a person, very helpful and prompt response. I would highly recommend them should you want information about grant flat feasibility or building one.

  We're in the process of buying a new home that requires a granny flat to be built in the backyard and Faraj has been so helpful, going above and beyond in checking contracts and giving us the information we need to make an informed decision. Once again thank you for being so helpful from the beginning and making an effort to make sure we are educated and know what we're getting ourselves into. Saving us much time and money! Looking forward to working with them further.

  Granny Flat Approvals (GFA) has helped us obtain our approval for our garage to granny flat conversion with ease. From our first call to Zoe & later site inspection & design by Nick, this efficient team has made the whole process very clear & transparent. As our garage setback distance was less than the council requirement, most builders that we have spoken to have encouraged us to knock down our brick garage & rebuild the granny flat rather than converting. As GFA is very familiar with council requirements they were able to suggest ways how we could still do the conversion. Faraj is very informative and helpful in answering questions. He also laid out all options if we decide to knock down our garage & rebuild. Due to that, we were able to make an informed decision based on our budget & circumstances. The whole team at GFA are very efficient & swift in getting things done. They are also very helpful & always trying to work in the best interest of their clients. We highly recommend them if you are planning to have a granny flat on your property.

  This whole building experience went so seamlessly and transparent it was a pleasure working with them. We knew all the requirements during the planning and design processes with no hidden unexpected costs. Being in the flight path did require additional funding , but that was our call. In the end the final product was something we were all proud of. Highly recommend the team from Granny Flat Approvals for any Granny Flat to be built anywhere in Australia. They are there to get you a result.

  Having zero knowledge of the building industry and being cautious when choosing the right company, I would have never in my wildest thoughts have expected to be blessed with such an informative, knowledgeable, proactive, and most importantly, honest group of individuals. My experience with Granny Flat Approvals and the team including Faraj, Nick and Serge has been the absolute pinnacle of any client / provider relationship I have had in my entire life; the culture Serge breeds in his company is a testament to the outstanding service and quality his team provides. Thank you for making my experience such a positive and memorable one.

  Faraj and the team have been excellent in there professional handling and friendless in my endeavors to build a granny flat, from design to needing a quick response to questions about the build and all the approvals I needed, so thanks for your patience and tolerance of my questions and changes needed. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone.

  Faraj and team have been helpful all throughout the application process till approval, they handled all correspondence with engineers and assisted us in following up with council, turned a very stressful process to a very straight forward solution. They managed to push a difficult approval over the line and get the desired results we wanted. If your curious about getting a granny flat for your place i'd suggest have a chat with Faraj and team so they can give their honest opinion about your situation.
